Okay, let us say the figure is 90%. Does Mr. Hassett wish to correct the record of a previous committee meeting? Mr. Hassett was before me recently. He stated that his information was that premiums were coming down and had come down. He said they peaked in 2016 and had come down significantly. I challenged him and asked him to produce the facts. He went on to say his understanding was that prices had been coming down since the middle of 2016. He then went on to say that prices were falling. Mr. Horan intervened and defended the statement from Mr. Hassett. Mr. Horan said that the fall in recent years meant that motor claims costs had stabilised. Does Mr. Hassett accept that was not true?
